About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Bohemian San Francisco, by Clarence Edwords. While describing his dining experiences throughout "Bohemian San Francisco," Clarence Edwords paints an historic panorama of California cuisine with all its cosmopolitan influences. Best of all, he offers tantalizing recipes culled from conversations with the master chefs of 1914 in "The City by the Bay." (Summary by Denny)
